Hi friends, family, and fellow music lovers —

I’ve just been invited to attend a rare, in-person masterclass with Grammy-winning producer Catherine Marks in Paris hosted by Mix With The Masters — an opportunity given to only ~14 artists worldwide. It’s truly the kind of life-changing mentorship I’ve dreamed of since I was a little girl at the keyboard.

Why I'm Telling You This:

I self-fund my creative work, but I’m seeking help covering the full cost of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity:

✈️ Flights to/from Paris

Lodging during the week

Course tuition

Daily expenses

**Estimated total cost: $5,800

If you're able to contribute any amount — big or small — I would be deeply grateful. And if you're not in a place to give, simply sharing this link or sending a kind word means the world to me.

What’s In It for You:

To show my thanks, I’ve created a few small ways to give back:

$10+

→ A private thank-you voice memo or unreleased song snippet from my upcoming project

$50+

→ A handwritten postcard from Paris

$100+

→ Exclusive access to my video diary from the trip — I’ll share reflections, inspirations, and vlog-style moments throughout the experience

$250+

→ Everything above + a one-of-a-kind lyric print or handwritten journal page inspired by the trip

Masterclass Details (For Those Curious):

This four-day intensive is designed to help emerging artists like me sharpen our technical skills, develop our sonic identity, and learn directly from one of the most respected producers in the industry. To see more about the Masterclass, see here.

Catherine’s credits include:

boygenius, St. Vincent, Local Natives, Alanis Morissette, Wolf Alice, The Killers, Foals, PJ Harvey, and more.

As someone who’s been building a creative practice using limited tools and home setups, this is an incredible opportunity to grow, connect, and bring that learning back into my own music — and eventually, I hope, into the vision I hold for Lady Henri Records, my idea for a future label/nonprofit/mentorship space dedicated to uplifting underrepresented voices in the music industry.

Thank you for believing in my voice and vision. I can’t wait to soak in every moment and carry it with me into everything I make next.

With love and gratitude,

Zuzu
